El Superbeasto on DVD

The film stars Paul Giamatti, Rosario Dawson and comedian Tom Papa (as El Superbeasto himself). The IMDB plot synopsis says, “The story follows the adventures of El Superbeasto, a washed-up Mexican luchador, and his sultry sidekick and sister Suzi-X (Dawson) as they confront an evil villain by the name of Dr. Satan (Giamatti). The adventure, set in the mythic world of Monsterland, also has a character named Murray the robot (Brian Posehn).” I saw an early rough cut over a year ago and it is a pretty wild ride – one I highly recommend. There are two short clips on Amazon.com which do not do the film justice – in fact, I think these are the only two G-rated scenes in the entire film! It’s R-rated for extreme violence and cartoon nudity. You can pre-order it at Amazon.com now.

I’ll wait til after the the DVD is released before I consider buying it, that way I can read the reviews about the film. I’m sure the movie is going to be a R-rated animated roller coaster of fun but you’ll never know how some things might come out in the end.

Better play it safe.

I’ll give it a shot. I’m not a big fan of Zombie, though his first two films were at least interesting. Still, any animation for adults that is coming from somewhere other than Japan is worthy of support, in my book. (Disclosure: I’m an Anime nerd. Please don’t throw things.)

It seems to be heavily-influenced by Kricfalusi, though not-nearly as stylish. I won’t judge it from two short clips, though. Consider it Netflixed!

Now, can we get some funding for Bakshi’s LAST DAYS OF CONEY ISLAND? That’s a film I’d love to see.

Finally! Me and my friends have been looking forward to this since it was announced, we’re all hardcore members of the cult of Lawrence with our Filbert-imitating sessions sometimes going on well into the night; often lasting entire weeks.

Aww, I was really hoping to see this on the big screen. But at least it’s coming out!
